Back with the Maine Red Claws after a short stint with its parent franchise, the Boston Celtics, two way floor general Tremont Waters and fan favorite rookie center Tacko Fall shined again for the Celtics’ G League affiliate.
In a 115-91 win over the College Park Skyhawks (the Atlanta Hawks G League affiliate based in the eponymous Georgia city) the 5-foot-10 point guard logged an efficient 27 points and 8 assists, hitting half of his shots.
The Senegalese center had his sixth double-double with the Claws this season despite some knee discomfort during warm-ups.
The UCF product had his best game of the season despite the discomfort, going for 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting, along with 18 boards and 2 blocks.
Fall recently returned from a knee contusion, so it’s possible the discomfort is related, though at present it’s unclear if there is any connection to the prior injury.
The duo have been shuttling back and forth between Portland and Boston as the Celtics have had need for supporting depth at their respective positions during various parts of the season.
Both have seen meaningful playing time at the NBA level, and Waters’ excellent play has been getting him noticed by opposing front office members and scouts.
The Red Claws next face the Delaware Blue Coats at home on Tuesday, Dec. 31 at noon, and the game will be broadcasted by NBC Sports Boston.
